I find Chiranjeev a person of high caliber, intelligence, and integrity. He likes to teach and digs deeper to improve his teaching style, content, and methods. His teaching style is question-based and could be frustrating and challenging for a GMAT student to endure, simply because he won’t hand you the answer. He would take you around the town until you yourself find a way to come to the right answer with right reasoning. He will strip you of your superficial learning and get to the meat and bones real fast. Trust me, his sessions will be painful, infuriating, and mind-boggling, but remember what does not kill you makes you stronger - the activities you’re avoiding the most contain your biggest opportunities. I love this method because it cuts through the chase of fiction and fantasy and puts you right in the perspective of what you know and what you don’t know. Many a time, I asked myself, what would CJ ask me if I were doing this question with him.
Chiranjeev is approachable, calm, honest, sincere, listener, expensive, values his time, makes effort to add value in a life of a GMAT student, and is a value creator, a good person to have as an advisor in your life, not-money minded (but won’t just distribute his time for free), one hell of a critical thinker, a good friend, and finally a spiritual being. Although I have never taken sessions from GMAT Ninja (Charles Bibilos) or Ron Purewal, but my gut feeling is that CJ would probably make it into the same league as these guys. I’d highly recommend the resources on his website GMATwithCJ.com (articles, SC solutions, and compilation of official questions). I also hold a lot of respect for him to have created a website BacktoGurbani.org.
It’s expensive to hire Chiranjeev as a private GMAT tutor, but it might be more expensive to not hire him - he is likely the best GMAT tutor in India. He brings a wealth of knowledge about the content, an army of GMAT students with whom he can connect you, and an ear to listen when your family and friends force you to think that GMAT is not your cup of tea and move on in life. This man can keep the light burning and can get you through the tunnel. He got me through, and my light was as dim as 380, and I made it to 710.
Also, please don’t think that a few sessions would do the magic. If that was the case people will start getting 6 pack abs in a few sessions with a trainer. No one becomes a champion in one day; it takes hardcore discipline, die-hard motivation, and right guidance to be an elite performer. If you have a question, shoot me a message. Good luck and keep your head held high.
